My 101% speedrun tutorial of 'Barrel Cannon Canyon' in "Donkey Kong Country" for the Game Boy Advance.

NOTE: This tutorial is not meant to be friendly. There might be a bit of safeness. But to get the fastest possible time, these tricks must be performed.
Letter K approaching:
Normally, the shortcut would already be taken after getting the letter K. But getting a picture in the Winky Bonus is required to get 101%. So it's faster to just get the Winky Token and then take the shortcut.
DK Barrel:
If Diddy wasn't available in 'Jungle Hijinxs' and 'Coral Capers', he will be available now, especially after taking the shortcut.
Barrel Cannon physics:
The Barrel Cannon physics are different from the SFC version. In the GBA version, holding either Left or Right on the D-Pad while holding the B button gives movability after shooting out of the Barrel Cannon. Holding Right on the D-Pad without holding the B button after shooting out of the Barrel Cannon can make that section faster. By holding only Right on the D-Pad, the Barrel Cannon gives extra speed. Of course, this only works when the Barrel Cannon is shooting horizontally. It doesn't work when the Barrel Cannon is shooting diagonally (except for certain ones that give extra speed).
Bonus Room #1:
Dropping down while avoiding the 1st Barrel Cannon would be faster. However, it's pretty much pixel perfect.
Letter N:
In the GBA version, the letter N is removed from the shortcut route. So the shortcut is skipped in order to get the letter N. The shortcut is taken afterwards.
Level ending:
Finishing a level as Donkey is important. In fact, finishing a world as Donkey is important. In order to get a picture, a world (Kongo Jungle) has to be finished by Donkey. Afterwards, that world has to be revisited to add 1% more to 101%.
Be sure to go to Candy after this level. In the GBA version, playing Candy's dancing mini-game (as well as getting Perfect rating [1 Hit allowed]) is required to get 101%.
----------
In order to get 101% in the Game Boy Advance version, every Bonus Room has to be found. Not only that, but every picture (as well as the K-O-N-G letters) has to be collected.

Crab patterns:
After the story cutscene, the crab pattern starts. It depends on how fast or slow the levels are cleared along with text skipping. The more one speedruns this category, the more the speedrunner will see some fishing patterns. Regardless, the RNG is still involved in them. In a casual playthrough, it can be random whether the crab shows up or not.
Funkys Fishing 1:
For this mini-game, dont bother waiting to catch the crab.

![Super Smash Bros. [N64] - 999% Match/Goal ~ Yoshi](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tCFVROv_goM/mqdefault.jpg "Super Smash Bros. [N64] - 999% Match/Goal ~ Yoshi
This is my 999% match/goal on a cute character in Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64.
My goal was to get cute characters (Yoshi, Pikachu, Kirby, and Jigglypuff) to 999% damage, while the other person (female, if possible) played like normal. I played as Mario because the other characters either couldnt do it without KOing or simply had it too hard.
NOTE: For this type of match/goal, it heavily matters how good the other player is. The other player cant be too good, or it wont work out. As you see in this video, it does matter. So you may see the other player sandbagging quite a bit, for the sake of helping me with this goal. In other words, I deem it impossible for a good player to get the other good player to 999% damage, even when playing at top level.
After 4 years of trying, constantly searching for the one to help me with this goal, and endless frustration trying to explain to people how I wanted my goal so theyd fully understand...
My goal is finally done!
Very special thanks to TwilightSparkle for helping me with this goal! Shes the only one who fully understood how I wanted my goal, and the last one! She was my last hope! If she hadnt have the patience to help me, I wouldve never achieved this goal! So, again, very special thanks to her for helping me with this! Much appreciated!
Surprisingly, she had lots of fun helping me with this goal. That makes me happy, despite all the frustration I went through.

By the way, the person who helped me with my goal is better than you think. Shes very good, trust me on that one. In fact, during the match/goal, at certain parts, her skills shows just how good she really is. She only helped me because I wanted this goal to end so bad (after 4 years)! So, please, no harsh comments about my goal!
Player 1 - William5000000 [Mario]
Player 2 - TwilightSparkle [Yoshi]
It takes place in Hyrule Castle. I turned the tornado off in Hyrule Castle by using a GameShark to make my goal easier. If that tornado was there, my goal wouldve been much more frustrating to achieve, especially at the end.
I also turned the music off by using a GameShark. The reason why is because I wanted to hear the sound effects as clear as possible.
Rules:
- 7 stocks.
- No items.
- Default costume/color only for player 1s character, any costume/color for player 2s character.
- First attack always comes from the cute character.
- Shield breaking is disallowed.
- Player 2s cute character cannot get KOd at all.
- Player 2s cute character is allowed to taunt, periodically too.
- Crowd must cheer for the cute character at a very high percent damage.
Here is a list of my own rules I had for recording purposes:
- Up smash that character for the KO endurance.
- Up tilt that character for the KO endurance.
- When those 2 moves connect, that character must be on ground at a specific spot without crouching or DIing up, or else its instant KO.
Here are the additions to the rules for recording purposes:
- Crowd cheers had to go uninterrupted. Interrupting the cheers with an attack meant an automatic restart.
- Mario couldnt get KOd on second to last stock until the cute character was at 999% damage.
- Mario being tortured on the last stock by the cute character was masterminded by me. Not only for recording purposes, but also for laughs.
- Star KO had to occur on the last stock. Screen KO occurring meant an automatic restart.
For anyone wondering, certain parts that dont seem like normal playing (such as not attempting to attack after getting 999% damage) are part of my goal! Hyrule Castle is the only stage where I could do the 999% match/goal, because no other stage had what I wanted, especially for the torture part!
I know there are ways to get 999% damage much faster (red shell glitch, bumper glitch, et cetera). Ive seen too many videos of those glitches. In my opinion, they are less entertaining. And using stage hazards (such as the POW Block in Mushroom Kingdom) to get 999% damage much faster are also less entertaining. Those are the reasons why I wanted to do the 999% match/goal WITHOUT those glitches and stage hazards.
Im very happy with my 999% match/goal on cute characters. I absolutely have no intention of improving this goal, let alone do other characters (other than Yoshi, Pikachu, Kirby, and Jigglypuff...at least for me).
If I ever decide to do a goal like this for Super Smash Bros. Melee, Ill have the videos and the description here as a backup to make explaining much easier. Seriously, explaining how I wanted my goal without having this as a backup was very frustrating, and eventually too difficult to even bother explaining at all to others. So, I am glad I have this as a backup.
